Pro doesn't have an option to join a domain in the default OOBE. I think that went away in some iteration of 10.
Pro definitely doesn't because the above procedure is what I always have to do to get joined to a domain without creating or using a Microsoft Account. (And then I've got a local account to clean up.)
It does, I just made a Windows 11 Pro 24H2 VM for testing (with the stock ISO) and used the "domain join" option to make a local account.
